Frequent criminal offender Jason Beaudry has been released from jail and is the subject of a public notifica-tion by the Ministry of Justice.
Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said he was notified by the Corrections Branch on Friday that Beaudry, who is described as aborigi-nal, five feet, 11 inches tall and weigh-ing 180 pounds, intends to return to his Creston residence.
“It is one of our top priorities to keep a close watch on high risk offenders and we will do so with Jason Beaudry,” Gollan said.
Routine checks in the past have led to several arrests without him having committed major crimes.
The Corrections Branch describes Beaudry, 36, as a high-risk violent sex-ual offender who has a lengthy and varied criminal history that includes violent and sexual offences. He has used weapons. As well, “he has offend-ed in an opportunistic manner against males, females, strangers and acquain-tances,” the notification says.

For the first time since the Creston Valley Thunder Cats took to the ice in 2000, the team will advance to the third round of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs, having become the Eddie Mountain Division champions after defeating the Kimberley Dynamiters in game 7 of round 2.
The series was a nail-biter for fans, who watched the Thunder Cats win the first game at home, then lose the following three. They won the next three, with Saturday’s game 7 win seeing them swing from being down 4-1 to winning the game 5-4.
“We have a group of guys in our room that really believe in themselves,” said head coach Josh Hepditch. “They’re working hard and it’s coming together for them”
The Thunder Cats lost game 4 6-3 to the Dynamiters on March 11, despite out-shooting Kimberley 38-24.
“Their goalie was unreal,” said Hepditch. “He stole them the game.”
Thunder Cat Colby Livingstone started the game’s scoring, with an unassisted goal midway through the first period.

A 29-year-old Craw-ford Bay man was killed in an avalanche March 11 on Gray Creek Pass.
Creston RCMP received a complaint around 2:30 p.m. of a missing man near Gray Creek Pass, where two men were snowmobil-ing when they were caught in an avalanche.
“One subject was able to make it out,” said Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan, but the man was unable to find the other.
Emergency Manage-ment British Columbia, the co-ordinating agency for provincial emergency management activities, was contacted, and Search and Rescue teams from Nelson and Kimberley were sent out. They located the missing man at 5:45 p.m., and he was declared dead at the scene.
The BC Coroners Service took over the investigation from the RCMP. The victim’s name has not been released.

Cara Waddle proved that the third time really is the charm when she placed first in the March 13 finals of Creston’s Best Singer.
She had previously placed in the top five in 2012 and the top 10 last year, but her rendition of Just Like Jesse James in the final round put her over the top with judges Charlene Burdett (Fort Macleod, Alta.), Carla McDonald (Cranbrook) and Bev Anderson (Kootenay Lake).
“That’s one I always want to sing but never get to,” said Waddle. “And it’s so damn tricky to get the timing on it.”
In the top five, Waddle competed
against Taya Blackmore, Tamara Leavitt, Kyran Grant and Erin Collison, who faced off after the judges named them the top five out of 20 singers the audi-ence chose at a Feb. 20 audition. Each singer performed once in the semifinal round that started last week’s contest, with the top five singing again.
Waddle started out with I’d Rather Go Blind, made famous by Etta James.
“It’s my grandma’s favourite,” said Waddle.
In the first round, Leavitt sang I Don’t Believe You, followed by No Place That Far in the finals. The 11-year-old Blackmore performed Angels Among Us for her first song, and followed that up by belting out the Academy Award-
winning Let It Go, from the film Frozen.“I was pretty sure I was going to lose
to her,” said Waddle.This isn’t the end of the line for the
three winners, all of whom will move on to compete in the Kootenays’ Best Singer regional; contest, which will be held in Creston in June. They will be joined by the top two from Nelson’s Best Singer (held in November), and the top five from each of the upcoming east and west Kootenay contests.
“The judges didn’t have an easy job with this contest,” said producer Vern Gorham. “But they made excellent choices, and I’m so proud to have these local singers show their talent when they take on regional competitors.”

Increased police presence in the downtown core, partnerships with com-munity groups and drug awareness were the priorities town council set for Creston RCMP when Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan gave his quarterly report at the March 11 regular council meeting.
The latter point grew out of Coun. Judy Gadicke’s comment that she smells mari-juana whenever she walks around town.
“Just about every vehicle we stop, we find pot in,” said Gollan.
He said that the website webehigh.org rates Creston at 4.5 and Nelson at 5, on a scale where 1 is “very illegal” and 5 is “virtually legal”.
Gollan’s report combined the second and third quarters of the RCMP fiscal year, covering July through December.
During that time, checkstops resulted in a total of 36 charges: 14 for impaired driving, 13 90-day suspensions, three 30-day suspensions, five 24-hour suspen-sions and one drug charge.
Gollan also gave a brief overview of the financial difficulties the detachment faces. With a quarter of the fiscal year left, he has spent 49.52 per cent of the municipal budget from the Town of Creston, and 98 per cent of the prov-ince’s $74,300 budget.
The province currently gives the
detachment only $6,000 per year to spend on gas for three vehicles, working out to about 60 cents a litre, while the town’s portion is $17,000. And when it comes to vehicle maintenance, the town’s contribution is $14,000, while the province gives $4,000.
Gollan said he is working with the RCMP’s Southeast District to address budget shortfalls or underfunding. Funding from the town is to be used for Creston-related expenses only, and can-not be used to cover shortfalls in police coverage of outlying areas.
Council Briefs•Council received a report from the
Creston Spirit Committee regarding the 2013 Santa Claus Parade, which had 18 entries. Twenty-four volunteers staffed the day’s events leading up to and including the parade, but an extra 12 volunteers assisting with traffic control would be helpful at the 2014 parade.
Suggestions from the committee for this year’s parade included increasing daytime offerings to make it a larger event, finding a way to prevent large Christmas parties from being scheduled at the same time as the parade to avoid traffic safety concerns, having the Creston and District Community Complex expand its gingerbread decorating event and encouraging more downtown busi-nesses to enter the parade.
•The town received a notice asking for the renewal of its Union of BC Municipalities membership for a cost of $3,551.12.
•A letter from Calgary’s Seniors Alpine Ski Club expressed its apprecia-tion to Creston Fire Rescue, the BC Ambulance Service, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats and the Creston and District Community Complex, all of which pitched in when the Brewster Travel Canada bus they were in went off the road east of Creston on Feb. 17.
Fire Chief Mike Moore drove the Thunder Cats bus to pick the seniors up and bring them back to Creston, and Brewster intends to reimburse the town for the cost of the bus that day.
“They were very impressed, and they didn’t think the municipality should have to pay for the expense,” said Mayor Ron Toyota.
•Council approved an pre-budget expenditure of up to $380,000 for an Erickson Street water main upgrade, which was identified as a capital project in the 2010 water master plan, intended to address fire flow deficiencies at the Columbia Brewery and improve hydraulics for more reliable water dis-tribution in the south part of Creston.
If the water main is installed before the province’s 2014 resurfacing program, the province at no cost to the town will com-plete asphalt patching and paving.

The Creston RCMP detachment regains use of the police station basement at the end of the month. The Integrated Border
Enforcement Team (IBET) is no more.
The Creston IBET office that occu-pied the space included three RCMP constables, a Canadian Border Services Agency member and a half-time clerical worker. All IBET groups
in the province have been reor-ganized into a federal service organized crime unit. The near-est, in Osoyoos, will take on larger border security projects all the way to the Alberta bor-der, Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.
According to the RCMP, “IBETs enhance border integri-ty and security along the shared Canada/U.S. border, between designated ports of entry, by identifying, investigating and interdicting persons, organiza-tions and goods that threaten the national security of one or both countries or that are involved in organized criminal activity.
“IBET units protect both Canada and the United States from potential threats of terror-ism and impede the traffick-ing/smuggling of people and contraband.”
“It actually makes sense,” Gollan said. “The IBET teams were really too small to take on major projects. Locally, there isn’t much change. We (the Creston RCMP detachment) were always responsible for the first attendance on any file. It should be a better system.”
Two senior officials flew in to Creston last week to meet with Mayor Ron Toyota to brief him on the change.
“We knew it was coming,” Toyota said. “It has no impact on our local budget, but it’s unfortunate that we lose some local jobs.”
Police BeatIn other police news, Creston
RCMP responded to 58 calls from March 10-16, Gollan said.

Beaudry
From page 1The Dynamiters scored two
goals late in the period, and then two in the second before Livingstone scored his second goal at 4:56. It was a similar story in the third period, with Kimberley scoring twice before Trevor Hanna scored the Thunder Cats’ third of the night, assisted by Carson Cartwright and Livingstone, who earned three points that evening.
“That was the best game I’ve ever seen him play,” said Hepditch.
The action returned to Creston on March 13 for game 5, giving the Thunder Cats a boost of confidence.
“Our backs were against the wall,” said Hepditch. “I don’t think there was one guy in the room that didn’t think we could come back in the series.”
Thunder Cat Jesse Collins scored the first period’s only goal, and Kimberley followed that with two in the second period before Hanna tied the score at 2:45. Colton St. John
scored the game-winner at 13:12 in the third period, and Collins scored again, with an empty-netter at 1:05.
“It was nice to see our 20-year-olds step up in a game like that,” said Hepditch.
With game 6 played Friday on the Dynamiters’ home ice, the Thunder Cats had to dig deep in order to stay on track.
“We had to play with pure desperation,” said Hepditch. “It was really do or die for us. We knew that it was going to be biggest game of the series for us.”
It was another 4-2 victory for the Thunder Cats, whose scor-ing started with a power-play goal by Tyler Podgorenko five minutes into the game. Livingstone (power play) and Seth Schmidt scored in the sec-ond period before penalty trou-ble resulted in two Dynamiters goals. Collins added a fourth goal for the Thunder Cats with just over seven minutes left in the game.
For Saturday’s game in Creston, the John Bucyk Arena was “packed before warm-up,” said Hepditch, with the atten-dance eventually topping 1,000.
The game started with a good first period, which saw Cartwright score on a power play at 9:43, with Kimberley tying the score a few minutes later. A weaker second period saw the Dynamiters take the lead, scoring one unassisted and two power-play goals.
“We melted,” said Hepditch. “We got outplayed and out-shot.”
In the third period, he capi-talized on one of the Thunder Cats’ strengths, the ability to roll a few lines to keep players from tiring. And it worked, with Andrew Hodder, Collins and Logan Styler scoring to tie the game 4-4.
A Dynamiters penalty at 2:27 proved timely for the Thunder Cats, whose power play stepped up, with Schmidt scoring the game-winner at 2:06.
“You couldn’t have written a better script for this,” said Hepditch. “It was unbeliev-able. I’ve gotten texts and emails from people who said it was the best sporting event they’ve ever seen in their life.”
With only three days of rest
FOR THE RECORD
In last week’s story, “Eight-week Mindfulness Course Part of Training Program,” the pre-requisite training program that Kuya Minogue took to prepare was actually 10 days, not eight weeks.
Thunder between games, though, the Thunder Cats were back at it on Tuesday and Wednesday, hosting the Beaver Valley Nitehawks — who topped the Neil Murdoch Division by beating the Nelson Leafs in six games — as they com-pete for the KIJHL’s Kootenay Conference title. The Nitehawks and Thunder Cats both earned 80 points in the regular season, with the Thunder Cats 39 wins, com-
pared to the Nitehawks’ 38, giving them home-ice advantage.
The Nitehawks have a half-doz-en really skilled players, plus strong defence and goaltending, so the series should be an exciting one.
“After our last series, we’d say nothing’s impossible,” he said. “We definitely don’t think it’s going to be a walk in the park. … It’s going to take a lot of hard work and stick-ing to our game plan.”
BY JEFF NAGELBlack Press
An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board.
MMBC, an industry stew-ardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curb-side blue box collection – with more containers and material types collected than before – while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate.
But it's been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers.
The battle took a new turn March 10, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other asso-ciations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria.
CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen pre-dicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees.
"This is public policy run amok," he said. "We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push
the pause button on its reck-less and red tape-laden pro-gram."
BC Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can't readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clam-shells, because retailers insist that's what consumers want.
"We have to wear the cost," he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. "It goes directly against growing agriculture."
Canadian Newspaper Association chair Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned that the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. com-munity and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to com-munities.
The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program — to make genera-tors of packaging pay to recy-cle it — but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unilever and Wal-Mart con-trol MMBC and are manipu-lating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses.
Most of the fees for con-tainer waste are double or even quadruple what busi-nesses in Ontario pay to a similar agency.
Newspapers say they face a $14-million-a-year bite out of their operations because of the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, com-pared to less than half a penny in Ontario.
Environment Minister Mary Polak said most busi-nesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 mil-lion of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200.

My weekend plans didn’t include taking in a hockey game, but on Saturday night I found myself check-ing out the KIJHL website to see how the Creston Valley Thunder Cats were making out. At about 10 p.m. there was no score posted on the site. A while later, the news I was looking for finally popped up. Not only had the Thunder Cats bounced back from a 3-1 game deficit in the semifinal series against the Kimberley Dynamiters, they had over-come a 4-1 score going into the third period.
I could only image what the sound of a thousand fans was like as the home side roared back with four unanswered goals to earn a 5-4 vic-tory. The Cats might have finished the season 20 points up on Kimberley, but the Dynamiters have a very nice history of playoff season victories against Creston.
In fact, Creston fans and players alike have had reason to build up a pretty good dislike for the Dynamiters. Since the Cats joined the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League in 2000-2001, Kimberley has ended their season six times, all in the semifinals, or first round of the playoffs. It has been left to an even bigger nemesis, the Fernie Ghostriders, to dispatch the Thunder Cats in the three previ-ous times that they moved on to the second round, in 2007, 2010 and 2011. In only one of those series did the team even manage to win a game. That came in 2011, when Creston forced the series to a sev-enth game before bowing out.
As the Cats move into uncharted territory this week, I am happy for the players and fans, of course. But even
more, I am thrilled for the executive and for head coach-general manager Josh Hepditch. The executive gets credit, as it always should, for keeping junior hockey alive in the Creston
Valley. Each year seems to present a new financial challenge, one that isn’t helped when the team doesn’t host many playoff games. Teams budget for the season and a long run in the playoffs can result in a very healthy addition to the bottom line.
Having been able to keep Hepditch on this long has certainly been the biggest factor in this year’s success. When I wrote a feature story about him early in his first year I described him as a young man who gave me the sense that one day I would be saying, “I knew him when…’ ” Hepditch had great success as a two-way player with national champion University of New Brunswick teams, and cites cur-rent Buffalo Sabre coach Ted Nolan as a mentor. Everything about his man-ner exudes quiet competence and strength. He isn’t likely to remain in Creston much longer, especially after this great season, one that will guar-antee that he will attract attention from other teams in other leagues. But we are a better community for having had him among us.
Another sure sign that Hepditch and the Thunder Cats executive have been doing all the right things is in the
quality of players they have been able to attract. The organization puts a high value on character, and it has paid off. In the past two years, Thunder Cats players have participated in the Reach
a Reader program, a fundrais-er and awareness program for local literacy efforts. Each player I have met and chatted with while they sold our newspapers on the street has been friendly, enthusiastic and quick with a smile. I have heard only positive comments from the many groups that have benefited from the team’s volunteer efforts.
On Sunday morning I chatted with my son, Ryan, on the phone from his home in Calgary. He played goal for the Thunder Cats for two years and has continued to follow the team. Like me, he was checking for scores on Saturday night.
“When I checked I saw they were down 4-1 after two periods and I thought, ‘Too bad, but they had a great run.’ ” He, too, had experi-enced the frustration of losing a playoff series to the Dynamiters.
“Then I checked for the final score this morning when I got up and I couldn’t believe it!” he said. “What a comeback!”
Minor and junior hockey played a huge role in Ryan’s development. He’s great father and husband, a respected RCMP officer and kind, decent man. I know the parents of today’s Thunder Cat players will be saying the same things in years to come. And they will have great mem-ories of their sons’ great 2014 season, which saw their team advance to the third round of the KIJHL playoffs for the first time ever.

The industrialist Andrew Carnegie once said, “A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never fail-ing spring in the desert.”
Like all great social enter-prises, a strong and vital pub-lic library depends on stable and adequate funding and this, in turn, depends on the support of both the public and those empowered to make decisions for the public good.
Approximately 75 per cent of the operating budget of Creston Valley Public Library is funded through the local tax base for the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay areas A, B and C. This funding covers book purchases, computers, staffing costs, building maintenance and other needed equipment and supplies.
Another 15 per cent is funded through the libraries and literacy branch of the Ministry of Education. This funding supports collaboration with regional and provincial librar-ies. It is what allows folks from Riondel and Crawford Bay to use the Nelson library without paying the $90/year non-resident fee. It allows you to borrow books from any library in the province, either while travel-ling or through interlibrary loans. It also helps support our ebook, audio-book and other electronic databases.
The remaining 10 per cent is raised through miscellaneous grants, dona-tions and library-generated revenue, such as overdue fines and photocopy charges. These funds support special
projects, such as the community access program, Summer Reading Club, con-struction of the Lawrence Lavender Reading Garden and many others.
I’ve written here before about how the public libraries provide a signifi-cant net economic benefit to the com-munity. Simply put, the value that the community receives through pooling and sharing our resources far exceeds the financial outlay required to maintain the library.
Families in this community rely on the library’s high quality resources and programs, seniors depend on our free computer training, community groups rely on our public meeting spaces and people from all walks of life depend on the library for their recreational and lifelong learning needs. As a recent article (“How Public Libraries Are
Solving America's Reading Problem”) in Forbes magazine pointed out, when you do the math, the public library is a great deal.
As we’ve seen with some privati-zation initiatives in recent years, lower taxes do not always mean lower costs to citizens. Having a well-man-aged and publically account-able social service — a ser-vice that provides significant value to a broad cross section of the community — is, in my opinion, a worthy invest-ment for my tax dollars.
We are extremely fortunate in Creston to have elected officials who understand the value of the public library. Mayor Ron Toyota and area directors John Kettle, Larry Binks and Garry Jackman, as well as Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie, have been strong supporters of the library over the years, and our beauti-ful, spacious facility is a testament to their advocacy and hard work.
With local elections on the hori-zon, it is a good time to remind our leaders and would-be leaders of the value and importance of a vibrant, well-equipped public library. Ask them if they will support stable fund-ing for the library during their next term. Your children and grandchil-dren will thank you.
Aaron Francis is the chief librarian at the Creston Valley Public Library.

To the Editor:(Re: “Owner’s Silence a Test of
Integrity,” March 13)To Erin Carr, there are two things I
would like to tell you. First, I know you and your partner have the support of many positive, understanding citi-zens of this valley. They are the silent majority. Take heart.
Secondly, in your letter you men-tioned this beautiful valley several times. Yes, it is a beautiful valley, but it also has an ugly side. The beauty is wrought by nature, the ugliness is wrought by humans.
Unfortunately, the ugly, negative forc-es in this community are always front and centre on every issue: the initiative to give the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society a little tax money, the initiative to obtain fire protection for West Creston, the proposal for a referendum to deter-mine once and for all the issue of day-light time and, now, the legal and ethical rights of your business partner under fire because of his refusal to publicize his private business dealings.
The negative people with their nasty actions and threats are always ready to do their bashing, to try to intimidate and ridicule others as a means of forc-ing others to do what they want.
I think it is time that the positive, silent majority takes a stand, makes an effort to counteract the growing nega-tivity that will eventually spoil not the natural beauty of this valley, but defi-nitely the beauty of a good reputation, as a “nice” place to live.

To the Editor:(Re: “MLA ‘Against Rural Ridings in
B.C.,’ ” March 6)In the letter by Wes Graham, a town
councillor and assistant to a Conservative MP, he renders a personal attack on me for my position on Bill 2, the Electoral Boundaries Commission Amendment Act presently before the legislature. As we know, personal attacks are left to those who lack sub-stantive reasons for their position and prefer to bully their way through an argument. It seems that is the case here.
For those not familiar with Bill 2, it is the Liberals bill that interferes with the Electoral Boundaries Commission’s independence to work directly with the public in drawing our electoral bound-aries. Because governments are in con-flict of interest when deciding electoral boundaries, this independence is para-mount and protected by the constitu-tion. Nevertheless, the Liberals are once again ignoring the laws of the land — this time by directing the com-mission to preserve the boundaries of a select number of ridings.
Why would they only look at 17 rath-er than all rural ridings if this was about protecting rural representation, which is something determined between the com-
mission and public anyway? Taking a look at how it all shakes out, their selec-tion is where they have the most to gain.
If you are interested in seeing what I had to say about this bill, please visit my YouTube channel where I’ve posted my speech for you to watch anytime. You can also read or view the Hansard transcript anytime at www.leg.bc.ca.
It is a shame that a local elected offi-cial thinks this type of legislation is acceptable, making it clear that Mr. Graham’s blind obedience to his cho-sen provincial party outweighs his respect for democratic laws.

To the Editor:Daylight time has started once again.
I believe the Creston Valley should be on Pacific time year-round. I hate watching TV an hour later all winter.
I hope the men and women in author-ity in this valley will make the right deci-sion, to stay on Pacific time year-round. Why wait until November to decide.
Please, let’s use Pacific time year-round. I am an elderly senior and trust you will agree with me.
Ross HaddenErickson
To the Editor:My husband, Wolfgang, and I are
patients of Dr. Suzanne Hopkins and we are very grateful to her for accepting us as patients when we moved here in 2012. She had also just relocated with her fami-ly to establish herself here. We can only imagine how she must feel now.
We have no insights in the legal dis-pute between the doctors and the own-ers of the clinic. All we know is that the doctors were locked out of their offices in January. That in itself has to be unprecedented and was done with total disregard for people’s lives and well-being, in our opinion. Without taking sides in this matter, we think this has gone on long enough and it needs mediation from the Ministry of Health or other outside sources.
We are also puzzled and find it ironic for Mr. Gadicke to suggest to hug our doctors (“Doctors Still Able to Access Patient Records,” Feb. 27) and buy them chocolates or flowers. Mind you, we have no problem doing that, but we would rather do it at their offices where they are able to do what they love and want to do, namely, looking after their patients with-out restrictions, hurdles and with the nec-essary peace of mind. We hope, at this point, they can keep on doing just that.
We are sure we speak for many when we assure our doctors that we appreciate them, and we hope many more patients will voice their concerns and support, also. We assume they have enough on their minds and do not need to be bom-barded by their patients, unless they are in need of medical attention, but hopeful-ly it will make them feel better to know that they are truly appreciated.

To the Editor:We are lucky to live in the Creston
Valley!There, now wasn’t that nice? It hap-
pened so quietly, so smoothly, so seam-lessly that, in fact, no one even noticed. And no one had to do anything, not even click a mouse. It happened by others, long ago, and it is done for our own convenience and pleasure. What a treat it is, and it’s free too!
We have “endured” a change of time once again, by gloriously doing noth-ing. We have endured no stress, no dysfunction, no bleary eyes, no being late for work, no confusion, no doubts — nothing but a peaceful mind.
We don’t change time. In the sum-mer, we live in Pacific time, and in the winter, we live in mountain time.
So what? It’s among the reasons I love living in the Creston Valley: glori-ous weather and no stress!
Bill CookLister
To the Editor:In response to the letter
“Community must look after seniors” (Feb. 27), I felt a compelling need to share my most unpleasant encounter with one of Creston’s senior citizens. Having grown up here, I realize that the majority of the residents are, in fact, seniors. However, this does not give the right for anyone, no matter what their age, to treat another human with less respect or decency.
My four-year-old daughter and I recently stopped by Paul’s Superette to purchase some scratch tickets as part of an upcoming anniversary gift. She didn’t comprehend what the scratch tickets even represented, only that she was so excited to be able to assist me in picking them out. There were no other customers in the building when we entered and the cashier was polite and ready to assist us.
Within a few moments, an elderly gentleman (I too use the term “gentle-man” loosely, as I do believe his actions were anything but) entered the store and proceeded to walk to the cooler in the back to grab a bag of ice. The elder-ly man approached the counter with his ice and stood in line. Knowing there was someone waiting, I hurried my daughter and myself along with our purchases.
Apparently, “waiting” and “patient” were not vocabulary the elderly man was familiar with. Within a few sec-onds, he angrily turned, stomped to the back of the store and threw his bag of ice into the cooler, slamming the door afterwards. He then trudged out of the store. The cashier and I were aston-ished by his actions.
I collected my tickets and my daughter and I left the store only to be yelled at as we walked toward our vehicle. The elderly man had paused long enough to roll down his window and yell obscenities at my daughter and myself.

A Strong Voice Standing Up For You
Top Ten Things YOU Can Do To Protect Water:
www.michellemungall.ca
When you travel in the back country, be sensitive to the fact that you may be in someone’s watershed.
Treat every water source as though it were your own drinking water.
When you travel in the back
CENTRAL KOOTENAYREGIONAL DISTRICT OF
No matter where you stand on the planet, you are on a watershed, a landscape feature also referred to as a catchment or drainage basin. A watershed is defined as an area of land where all the
surface water drains into the same place, whether it’s a creek, a stream, a river or an ocean. Therefore, all precipi-tation, such as rain or snow, that falls on a watershed ends up flowing to the same
place.There are two major types
of watersheds, open and closed. An open watershed eventually drains into the ocean, whereas water in a closed watershed can escape only by evaporating or seep-ing into the earth. With the exception of some small watersheds in the Prairies and British Columbia, most
watersheds in Canada are open. The rain that falls in the St. Lawrence River watershed, for example, winds up in the St. Lawrence, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean.Watersheds have variety
Watersheds can be urban, rural, wild or anywhere in between. Toronto, for exam-ple, contains seven river
watersheds, each draining into Lake Ontario, which itself is part of the Great Lakes Basin watershed. So water-sheds come in all shapes and sizes and cross provincial and international boundary lines. They are populated with freshwater features such as lakes, ponds, reservoirs, groundwater aquifers, snow-packs, glaciers and icefields.
Watershed 101
Local WatershedsIn the south-most region of the
Purcell Mountains, and along the western flank of the Moyie Range, is the 7,900 hectare Arrow Creek watershed. The Arrow, which flows from north to south, is wedged between the Duck Creek watershed to the west, another source of domestic water supply, and the Goat River watershed tributary complex to the east and north.
Arrow Creek flows into the Goat River, the confluence of which is located beside highway 3 and the Canadian Pacific Railway track on
the northeastern edge of Erickson, an agricultural and fruit-growing community of about 2,000 people. From here, the Goat River flows
westward and below the town of C r e s t o n , population of about 5,000, to join the K o o t e n a y River, 10
kilometers north of the United States border.In early 2000, the pro-vincial government forced the Erickson Improvement District.
After applications from local residents and incorporations, the Minister of Lands, T.D. Pattullo,
reserved the water rights of Arrow Creek for domestic use of the Creston area on February 16, 1923.
Incorporation of the village of Creston took place the following year in 1924. In 1929, the East Creston Irrigation District was formed, and a final water license given to draw water from the Arrow on July 4, 1929.
The East Creston Irrigation District sup-plied water to Creston through their distribu-tion system, and contin-ues to do so. The Erickson Mutual Water-Users Community was incorporated, under the Water Act, on May 27, 1920, which later became the Erickson Irrigation District, incorporated on May 26, 1953. The Erickson Irrigation District received its water from Sullivan Creek until 1981, when it amalgamated with the East Creston Irrigation District to form the Erickson Improvement District. Sullivan Creek water is now only used for 5 or 6 months of the year, from mid-Spring to the end of summer, in addition to water from Arrow Creek.
Nearby, the commu-nity of Canyon received its water license for the Camp Run (Association) Creek on November 1, 1908, and formed the Canyon Mutual Water-Users’ Community, incorporated on February 28, 1922. This later became the North Canyon Improvement District, with water licenses on Thompson and Camp Run Creek
The Wynndel Irrigation District (WID), just to the north-west of Creston, began in 1932 and received its domestic and irrigation water from Duck Creek. Concerned about log-ging in Duck Creek, the WID obtained a Watershed Reserve des-ignation from the provin-cial government in 1947.

CELEBRATING 19 WINNING YEARS OF FUN!
Let’s be realistic about granniesI listened to an interview on CBC
Radio with actor Hugh Bonneville, who plays the Earl of Grantham on the Masterpiece Theatre drama Downton Abbey. The interview was about the series and why it attracts huge audiences. Mr. Bonneville said Downton Abbey is family entertainment; you can watch it with your mother or your grandmother.
He said you wouldn’t sit down with Granny and watch Breaking Bad. (This American series is a dark story about a terminally ill teacher who turns to selling drugs in order to leave his family finan-cially secure).
I wondered why Mr. Bonneville would imply that grandmothers don’t deal well with harsh subjects, especially given that Downton Abbey’s grandmama is very much a realist. And contempo-rary English grandmothers, the ones I’ve met, are pretty feisty.
It made me think about whether people see (or saw) their grandmothers as retiring and in need of shelter from the world.
I admit to a teenage impression of my two grandmothers: they wore old-fashioned dresses and oxford shoes and stayed in their rooms a lot of the time. Later I learned more about their lives.
My father’s mother raised five chil-dren through war and Depression. She kept a scrapbook of news clippings about the unholy happenings of the Second World War, complete with her condem-natory comments. My mother’s mother, who immigrated to Canada from Scotland, lost her 20-year-old son on a bombing mission during that war. He was buried in North Africa, and to remember him she had the black and white photographs of the military cor-tège in the desert.
Many of us can count in our family trees grandmothers who lived a dusty existence in isolated, poorly insulated houses on the Canadian Prairie, and they didn’t have vacuum cleaners. They raised many children in basic uncomfort-able conditions.
Grandmothers are still doing what needs to be done. Recent studies show that grandmothers are increasingly tak-ing on the role of caregivers to their grandchildren, mainly because of the changing fabric of family and work. There have always been grandmothers who have stepped up to be caregivers.
Today they take that role to a new level. They form groups and raise funds to help African grandmothers, through the Stephen Lewis Foundation, to care for grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. Creston’s GoGo Grannies are a shining example, having raised $60,000 since their inception in 2005.
In Argentina grandmothers called Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo have worked effectively together for three decades searching for “disappeared” children, who were taken from families of dissidents — and given to other
families — by the military dictatorship of the time.
The grandmothers I know get involved, work, challenge their brains, have great imaginations, follow their passions. A grandmother who is related to me is currently exploring the Andes in a van, with the ultimate goal of driving around the entire South American conti-nent. (I know she has faith that there are actual roads that will get her from Brazil to Venezuela.)
We can’t all be Dora the Explorer, but the grandmothers I know can be formi-dable. They hike up mountains, ride horses, run in marathons, manage orchards, create art, paddle kayaks, sweat at the gym and even shovel snow.
Grandmothers are a creative bunch. Some of them can still crawl on the floor; they make up stories and build hiding places. They take direction really well, and they can choose from their arsenal of exciting games, such as “Hiding from T. Rex” or “A storm is coming!” And, yes, they bake superior cookies. One fabulous grandmother of my acquaintance not only teaches her grandsons how to pre-pare traditional recipes but attends every single one of their hockey games.
It’s only in their downtime that grand-mothers knit and play bridge and read books by the fire.
And not incidentally, grandmothers do watch Breaking Bad. Some grandmoth-ers even catch the odd episode of the edgy fantasy series, Game of Thrones, if only to root for the Mother of Dragons in her quest to win back the Iron Throne.

The Voice of Experience
Betsy Brierley
From page 7I responded by asking him if he was a
grandfather and if he knew what the word “patience” meant. He screamed, “No, I hate kids! And now I know why I never have had a wife either!”
Shaking my head in disbelief, I turned to my daughter only to see the frown on her face and to hear the question, “Mommy why was that man so mad at me? What did I do wrong?” I explained that she hadn’t done anything wrong and that there are, unfortunately, some very angry people in the world we live in. Within a moment, he sped off out of the parking lot, narrowly missing another car on his way.
How does one explain such immature behaviour from an adult, a senior citizen, to a four-year-old child? I believe we all know who the real child was in this situation.
I was quite upset with how this man misbehaved, but realized by the time that I returned home that I should actually feel sorry for him. Being the age that he was, he was obviously so miserable with his own insecurities and his own failures in life that in order to feel better about himself, he needed to verbally attack a woman and child.
So if you are the elderly man I am referring to from this incident reading this letter, I hope you find some peace within yourself before it’s too late. I’m pretty sure your bag of ice would have stayed frozen during your wait in line, given the current weather and time of year. You couldn’t possibly use the excuse, “My ice was melt-ing” — besides your cold heart could not have thawed that bag!

An auto show for the entire provinceIt’s that time of year again when car shoppers can check out the hottest trends, latest innovations and some old classics at the 94th annual Vancouver International Auto Show.This year’s show, which runs from March 25 to 30 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, promises to be a great family-friendly event with some exciting new features, following a record-breaking year for auto sales in Canada in 2013.The show is owned and oper-ated by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, serving as a new model showcase for the Canadian automotive industry and representing more than 30 distinct brands from the world’s leading manufacturers. Canadians purchased a record-setting 1.74 million cars last year: a four per cent increase over 2012 and just the second time in history that the market has ever surpassed 1.7 million units. In British Columbia alone, new car dealers account for more than $10 billion annually in economic activity. This makes it an important industry for entire province where our dealer
members employ, directly and indirectly, more than 34,000 high paying, full-time people in the more than 50 communities they serve.The show may be at the coast and therefore a little too long a drive for many readers but I would encourage you to cast your eye over show media coverage and use that material for information and ideas. Then go to visit some of our members’ dealerships where they operate an ‘auto show’ for 52 weeks a year!For those of you who can attend be sure to participate in the Green Ride and Drive, which puts you at wheel of the latest eco-friendly vehicles. Another feature is the Exotics, which is
a selection of truly exhilarating automobiles – you can dream!Visitors at this year’s show will also get to ex-perience a bit of automotive history at Hagerty Classic Alley, featuring beautiful cars from the 1950s and 1960s, including a special salute to the Ford Mustang and its 50th anniversary celebration. Two classic cars will also be auctioned off, with
100 per cent of the funds going towards two very de-serving causes. The first is a 1966 Plymouth Satellite, funds from which will go towards the MS Society of Canada. The second is a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe, profits from which will be donated to the New Car Dealers Foundation of BC.For more information on the show visit: vancouverinternationalautoshow.com

Ford has been on a roll here in Canada; finishing out 2013 as the top selling brand for the fourth consecu-tive year.There are some very big products coming from Ford over the coming year that will make a big impact on its sales and image, and you will get a peek at some of them at the Vancou-ver International Auto Show.The first is the biggest introduction of any automaker this year, the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck. The F-150 isn’t just the best selling truck in Canada for almost 50 years; it is the overall sales champ, selling more than any other nameplate. Period. Ford isn’t merely introducing an up-dated model. No, they went to town, developing a entirely new manufac-turing process that will revolutionize the full-size truck space. The body of the next F-150 is built of an aluminum alloy material that Ford claims is 318kg lighter but stronger than the outgoing model. In addi-tion, the frame is made of thinner, lighter and stronger high-tensile steel that combined with the body, produces the weight savings. This is an industry first, and a revolutionary approach to building trucks. In addition to a lighter body, the engineers have developed two new engines to compliment the existing 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 model and 5.0L normally aspirated V8 engine. The first is a new 3.5L V6 engine, replacing the outgoing 3.7L model base engine.
With a lighter truck, a smaller engine can do the work. A smaller 2.7L turbo-charged EcoBoost V6 is also going to be introduced with an auto start-stop function that switches off the engine when the truck is sitting still. Official fuel economy ratings have not been
released but Ford executives tell me they hope to have best in class gasoline fuel economy.Other enhancements to the F-150 include a new stepladder that integrates into the tailgate. Ford was the first to have this fea-ture but it has been improved for 2015. The rear tailgate also has a soft-open feature that prevents the tailgate from slamming down, plus a light switch near
the back of the truck to eliminate the bed with new LED lights.The second vehicle that will have a big impact of Ford, but more of an image car, is the all-new 2015 Mustang. Interestingly, about 25 percent of all
Mustangs are sold here in British Colum-bia, so this is a big deal for us.The 2015 Mus-tang is now going to be sold around the world and de-veloped as part of the “One Ford” approach to making cars they can share
in every market. This means the Mus-tang will be sold, for the first time, with right hand drive for countries like the UK, Australia and Japan.The stance of the new Mustang is lower, wider and more muscular, with the wheels pushed out to provide bet-ter stability. The fastback has a steeper rake and a bigger trapezoidal grille has enhanced the shark nose design. Initially the Mustang will be sold as a coupe and convertible with the base and GT trim, the higher performance models will come later.Inside is another clean-sheet design, featuring real aluminum switches and dials, with two large gauges behind the steering wheel. The interior looks more upscale than any Mustang before.Under the hood the GT trim continues with the 5.0L V8 with improved valves and cylinders helping to pump out over 420hp. The base 3.7L V6 is also carried over but now with 300hp. The big news is the introduction of a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder with an estimated 300hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque.For years, the criticism has been the lack of independent rear suspension in the Mustang but this is no longer the case. A fully independent rear suspen-sion will help get all the power down to the ground from all three engines plus provide improved handling. Ford is hoping with this new platform and available engines, this new model will provide as many thrills as any German sports model and for less money. Pricing has not been finalized but expect it to be in line with existing 2014 Mustang pricing.Ford is doing well here in Canada and with all-new products; it will have a good chance of staying number [email protected]

Confessions of a CurberMy next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t fi nd a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.”Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked.He was just fi nishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes.I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted.It was a smooth transaction. The guy looked happy and thanked me immensely for all the help. I beamed back at him.Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely understand him. “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!”I hung up on him and tried to make sense of the situation. Why would the car be taken away in the middle of the night? Who’s “they”?Liens. Of course. The car had a lien on it. That’s why it wouldn’t sell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance. As before, I panicked. I didn’t want to get involved in this right now. Sure, I sold him the car, but how was I supposed to know it had
a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming.Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again.I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfi sh about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it.
*Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and
brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned
that lesson, but his buyer paid the price.
“They took it away,” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!”

One for all in the truck revolutionYears ago, we would see a pickup truck at an Auto Show (a rare find) and think this would be perfect on the farm; it has a bench seat that would fit all three of us!
My how things have changed, stepping into a pickup today is like stepping into a luxury home with even more technology. Trucks are now outselling cars, so manufacturers must
keep looking for innovative designs to entice the con-sumer into selecting their vehicle over the competi-tion. There are many trucks on the road today but let’s

look at the three domestic brands, all of which will be represented at the Vancouver International Auto Show.Ram introduced the EcoDiesel V6 engine in its 2014 1500 model and the consumer frenzy was on. A ½ ton pickup with 420 lb ft of torque and 4182kg (9200lbs) max towing capabilities, great! Better fuel economy, where do I sign. Ford announces the 2015 F150 with an aluminum body and a completely new design, this had Ford customers holding off on their new purchase until this comes out, which I do not think was Ford’s intention. GM changes not only the design of their truck but much of their drivetrain. So much so, that it was named North American Truck of
the year. Consumers are demanding these changes, they want better fuel economy but still are able to tow just as much. They want more comfort but still have a practical inte-rior. They want comfortable sus-pension but still perform off-road if necessary. Manufacturers have to consider all this when designing a new truck. They set up focus groups all around the country asking how they can improve and what
features consumers want in a truck.So what’s driving sales, what do pickups have over cars and why are they so popular? Versatility, you can transport large items, haul your favorite ‘toy’, take your family in comfort to the cabin, get out and play in the mud. I am not saying you can’t do this in a car but with a truck there are no limita-tions and that’s what
intrigues people into this type of vehicle. You can do so much more with a truck, the possibilities are endless. The truck is just the beginning,
the customization then begins. Research shows that on average a truck owner spends between $5,000 and $7,000 in aftermar-ket accessories within the first six months of ownership. Truck owners want to personalize their vehicles for practical reasons and some artistic reasons, but rest assured, if you can dream it there is somebody out there building it. Ten years ago, I would have said things are slowing down and there might be a change coming, but it didn’t happen and things picked up and it keeps picking up. I now think it will continue and in anoth-er ten years, we will see even more choices, enabling us to take the time to enjoy life on and off road.
‘‘Stepping into a pickup today is like stepping into a luxury home with even more technology.’’Ian Harwood

CREATING JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES
GO CATS GO!To the Editor:A friend sent me a YouTube link on the Animal
Advocates of BC, featuring the rescue of an aban-doned and starving female dog with puppies (this society rescues abandoned, abused, starving and sick animals). Even though very difficult to watch, I could not help but think how responsible we all are in some way for the hundreds and hundreds of dogs and cats born that no one wants.
Here in Creston, fortunately, we have the Central Kootenay Spay Neuter Animal Program (SNAP) Society. A group of very compassionate and concerned people started SNAP in November 2008. Their mandate was and is to assist in the population control of domestic, stray and feral dogs and cats in our valley. To date, SNAP has helped to spay/neuter 1,000 animals in our area, approximately 200 cats and dogs per year.
According to BC SPCA’s “sex and the kitty”, a single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 off-spring in just seven years. Yikes! One can sure see just how valuable spaying/neutering is in unwanted population control.
Here at SNAP, we all wish to express our appreciation to all of our supporters for their caring, donations, footwork and fieldwork, and all you out there for using our valuable service. For more SNAP information, call 250-428-2811.
Stephanie SweetCreston
To the Editor:Who has not talked about the strange weather
phenomenona that have been happening around the world and, yes, in our own country too? Droughts, extreme cold, floods, snow where there has never been snow before, tornadoes and hurri-canes. Southern Alberta has always been known for its high winds, and just lately they have had a wind like they have never had before since records were kept over 100 years ago.
In conjunction with this strange weather, I am sure that everyone is aware that the rise of neuro-toxic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and Lou
Gehrig’s disease are going off the charts. Respiratory problems are also way up there. “What is the connection?” you will rightfully ask.
Governments and corporations are deliber-ately manipulating and altering the Earth’s cli-mate, and in the process are endangering the lives of people all over the world. Intense spraying of dangerous chemicals from planes has been reported in at least the U.S., Canada, Germany, England, Australia, Mexico, South Africa, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Croatia. We are being sprayed by aluminum, barium, cad-mium, chromium, nickel, strontium and other toxic chemicals that go right into our red blood cells. Over 100 patents have been granted to corporations like Monsanto for aerial spraying of these chemicals that can disrupt your mental capacity, cause you to become sterile and even cause premature death.
In some areas, the aluminum level is so high that certain crops and trees are struggling to survive. The U.S. Department of Agriculture receives royalties from GMO crops, recently Monsanto was granted a patent for seeds that can grow in soil with high aluminum content.
This travesty is called, geoengineering, a.k.a. chemtrails, stratospheric aerosols or solar radia-tion management. You can see these chemtrails very often on a reasonably clear day. I saw many of them last summer and fall. On one occasion over West Creston, these trails criss-crossed like X and O games. These are different from jet trails in that a jet trail quickly disperses and disappears; a chemtrail, on the other hand, spreads out and stays there, and is not “airy” like a natural cloud, becoming like a solid mass.
There are many reasons why the powers that be are doing this, one of them being to block out the sun to prevent global warming, but the lack of sun is affecting every living thing upon our planet.
By now you may be thinking that I am a rav-ing lunatic. You don’t have to believe a word I’ve said, but please find out for yourself. Google “stratospheric aerosols” or “geoengi-neering”, or see the documentary, Why in the World are They Spraying on YouTube. If you don’t have a computer, I’m sure you have a friend who has one. Please get together and get informed. The future of our world is at stake.
Bill Vander Zalm is making an issue about this at the Coast. Another point of interest: You will remember the severe droughts Australia had not too long ago. Hundreds of farmers were driven out of business, Monsanto bought up thousands of acres of land, and all of a sud-den rain has started to fall and Monsanto’s genetically modified crops are flourishing.

Over 10,000 birds found during Christmas countCRESTON FIELD NATURALISTS
The 2013 Christmas Bird Count was a challenge. First, winter couldn’t decide if it was going to arrive. The birds couldn’t decide if they really wanted to dine at feeders and other easy handout stations with all their natural food areas clean up much of the valley’s sur-rounding mountainsides rela-tively uncloaked by snow and accompanying waters unclogged of ice.
Not only on CBC day, Dec. 27, but all season leading up to the big event has been one of feathered hide and seek. Then to top it off, fog at the starting line!
But our feathered friends didn’t know who they were deal-ing with and again undeterred, this year’s collaboration of 48 dauntless fielders and 56 persis-tent feeder watchers was amaz-ing. This collective assault on our feathered friends accumulated 104.15 party hours (six of which were nocturnal) with a total dis-tance of 1148.3 kilometres on foot, car and snowmobile.
Climate conditions included calm local fog in the morning, and it was partly clear in the afternoon with open running water, partly frozen still water, up to a maximum 2 inches of snow, and a span of -6 to 1 degree Celsius.

CRESTON CONCERT SOCIETY
It’s hard to believe, but spring is here and so is the final performance of the 2013-2014 Creston Concert Society lineup. On March 24, the society is pre-senting ARC Ensemble at the Prince Charles Theatre.
Over the last 10 years, the ARC (Artists of the Royal Conservatory) Ensemble has become one of Canada’s pre-eminent cultural ambassadors, raising international apprecia-tion of the Royal Conservatory and Canada’s rich musical life. Its members are all senior fac-ulty of the conservatory’s Glenn Gould School with guest artists drawn from its most exceptional students and grad-uates. The ARC Ensemble has performed throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia, and its first two CDs, On the Threshold of Hope and Right Through the Bone (devot-ed, respectively, to the music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg and Julius Röntgen) were both nominated for Grammy Awards in the best chamber music recording category.
The ARC Ensemble has col-laborated with a range of artists, includng pianist Leon Fleisher, novelist Yann Martel, actors Saul Rubinek and R.H. Thompson, and composers Omar Daniel and Vincent Ho. It is playing a leading role in unearthing repertoire ignored due to political changes or shifts in musical fashion, and its work has received unanimous acclaim from the world’s cultural press. Its concerts and recordings are meticulously researched and assembled with rich supporting materials and are often aug-mented by lectures on their musical, political and social con-text, or included as part of larg-er-themed festivals.
Currently ARC Ensemble is touring with the acclaimed Music in Exile series, which explores the music of compos-ers forced to flee Europe during
the 1930s, and has been pre-sented to huge critical acclaim in Tel Aviv, New York, London, Budapest, and Toronto. They were dismissed from their jobs, forced into exile, often impris-oned and killed. They are the composers who suffered and died under Hitler and Stalin, and the Royal Conservatory of Music plans to establish an in-house institute to help retrieve their suppressed works.
The ensemble’s recordings enjoy regular airplay on net-works around the world and its concerts have been broadcast on CBC Radio, National Public Radio in the US and on public radio throughout Europe. It’s most recent release is dedicated to the chamber music of anoth-er émigré, the Israeli composer Paul Ben-Haim (née Frankenburger) who left Germany in 1933. The record-ing features his Quintet for clarinet and strings and an unpublished Piano Quartet last performed in 1932.
ARC ensemble includes:•Benjamin Bowman, one of
Canada’s most dynamic and versatile musicians, who has performed to critical acclaim throughout North America, Europe and Asia. He performs regularly as a soloist, and is a member or frequent guest artist for some of the country’s best chamber music ensembles. Most recently, Bowman was featured on the 2013 Juno Award-winning album Levant. He holds the position of associ-ate concertmaster with the Canadian Opera Company orchestra;
•Steven Dann, whose career has covered a wealth of violis-tic possibilities as principal viola of some of the world’s leading orchestras, as a veteran of the string quartet and cham-ber music world, as soloist and recitalist, and as a dedicated teacher. Born in Vancouver, he has held the position of princi-pal viola in Ottawa’s National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zurich,
the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and the Vancouver and Toronto symphony orchestras. He plays a viola (circa 1780) of Joseph Gagliano, and teaches viola and chamber music at the Glenn Gould School;
•Clarinetist Joaquin Valdepeñas, a prolific record-ing artist who has made over three dozen recordings, includ-ing a recording of the Mozart clarinet concerto with the English Chamber Orchestra, and has recently won a second Juno Award for the album Levant with his Amici Chamber Ensemble. Valdepeñas was a Grammy Award nominee two years in a row in the chamber music category. He holds the position of principal clarinet of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and is a former con-ductor of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra;
•Simon Wynberg, who in addition to his role as artistic director of ARC Ensemble, enjoys a diverse career as a gui-tarist and chamber musician. He has programmed chamber music festivals in Scotland and the Caribbean, and was artistic director of Music at Speedside and the Guelph Spring Festival in Canada from 1994-2002. His entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes him as “not only a virtuoso performer of distinction but one of the guitar’s foremost scholars.” He has edited over 60 volumes of hitherto unknown guitar music. He is the curator of ARC’s musical projects, includ-ing the current Music in Exile series, and is executive pro-ducer of ARC’s recordings; and
•Se Doo Park, the newest member of the ARC Ensemble. A recently appointed member of the Royal Conservatory fac-ulty, the cellist is now appear-ing regularly in chamber con-certs with leading Royal Conservatory faculty-artists and has participated in major international festivals includ-
ing Aspen, Banff, and Centre d’arts Orford. Winner of the 2012 Canada Council Musical Instrument Bank competition, she plays on the 1824 McConnell Nicolous Gagliano cello.
Tickets for ARC Ensemble are $22 for adults and $10 for students at Black Bear Books, or $25/$12 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30. While this is
the last performance of Creston Concert Society’s regular season, a special performance of ABBA trib-ute band ABBA Again will take place April 12 in the Creston Room of the Creston and District Community Complex. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students at Black Bear Books, with a $5 dis-count for members with a coupon.

CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY
Every three minutes, anoth-er Canadian will be told, “You have cancer.”
A cancer diagnosis can be daunting, which is why the Canadian Cancer Society is asking everyone to buy a daf-fodil pin and wear it during
April, Daffodil Month, to show their support for those living with cancer.
“Wearing the daffodil pin is a simple gesture, but it brings a powerful message of hope to families fighting can-cer,” said Canadian Cancer Society volunteer Darlene Wood. “When families facing cancer see the pin I hope they know that they are not alone, and that we’re all in this fight together.”
The daffodil is a bright sym-bol in the fight against all can-cers and brings hope to a diffi-cult experience. The Canadian Cancer Society kicks off Daffodil Month by selling live bunches, which will take place in Creston at Overwaitea Foods on March 28 and 29.
The daffodil pin will be available to purchase by dona-tion at various locations in Creston throughout April.
Canadians are encouraged to buy the pin and wear it during April to visibly unite everyone in the fight against cancer.
“It makes me feel good when I see people wearing the pin,” said annual giving co-ordinator Allison McCarthy. “It’s like a badge of honour saying yes, I will join thou-sands of other Canadians who want to fight back against the devastating impact of cancer on our lives. Cancer changes everything, unless we change cancer together.”
The money raised during Daffodil Month funds life-sav-ing research and vital support services and programs for peo-ple living with cancer in B.C. So join the fight — buy fresh-cut daffodils and the daffodil pin, make a donation or become a Canadian Cancer Society vol-unteer. To find out more, visit cancer.ca.

Watersheds 101March 17 - 23
Canada Water Week is a week-long celebration of water from coast-to-coast-to-coast, held annually in the third week of March to coincide with World Water Day on March 22. Canadian Geographic de� nes a
watershed as “an area of land where all the surface water drains into the same place, whether it’s a creek, a stream, a river or an ocean.” That means that no matter where you are in Canada, you’re standing in a watershed!

March 14, 2014Marion was born on February 14, 1926 in Cologne, Germany. She and her husband, Hans, immigrated to Canada in the 1950s, where they settled in Alberta. Marion worked in many professions, such as waitressing, sewing in a GWG factory, as a veterinarian's assistant, housekeeper, and at a real estate offi ce. Finally, she worked with Hans in their carpentry business.
In the 1980s they moved to Creston, where Marion volunteered at Gleaners for quite a few years. She later joined TAPS after the passing of her husband.
Caring Marion lived with and nursed her second husband, Ken Macklem, for 9 years. Th ey loved to play cards and darts, and Ken taught Marion to play cribbage. You could always see them every Friday night at the Legion for supper, where they met up with family and friends, then off to the Seniors' Hall for darts.
Th ey planned and went on a few trips together. Th eir last trip was to Fort Nelson, B.C. Th ey were
wonderful company for each other in their Autumn Years.
Marion loved being surrounded by her friends and was happiest with animals. She enjoyed doing ceramics and driving her 2010 Mustang convertible with the top
down. Marion loved life and laughing, and had a wonderful sense of humour.
Marion will sadly be missed by all who truly knew her. She is survived by family and friends: Gloria, Tauno, and Asha Wainionpaa; May Mercer; Jim
and Bunny Raddis, Kenny Raddis, Gilles and Wendy Berge-Dicaire, Gordon and Simonne Macklem, Susan and James Soutar, Don and
Sandra Macklem, Kenneth and Coulton and their family; as well as her many friends from TAPS.
After a short illness, Marion passed onMarch 2, 2014 at the Creston Valley Hospital,
with loved ones at her side.

under the auspices of the Creston and District Community Resource Centre. It had been under the Interior Health Authority’s wing since 1991.
Determined supporters rose to the occasion championing the value of and continuation of the program with great success as TAPS is in existence because of them. Thanks to IHA for its annual contribution to the Daybreak program.
Not-for-profits offering direct and indirect services to all sectors without core funding must commit resources for proposal and grant writing and fundraising efforts on an annual basis. It demands and makes organizations clear on the purpose for their causes, as well as creative approaches to programming and operations. Three cheers for all those who do that heavy lift-ing and to the organizations that offer funding choices as well as all who support in other ways!
Where would our community be without Creston Valley Gleaners Society support? And for TAPS it’s not just a one-way relationship. Financial support from them has allowed us to continue developing and running programs. Seniors and youth from the special needs pro-gram or those on work experience regularly get “jobs” to do for Gleaners. Recently, 14 students from Wildflower joined in on a work day, and as I didn’t get the photo in on time, you’ll just have to imagine the scene with all the youth and the seniors working together washing and dressing a few dozen dolls of all sizes, and ripping bags of rags into strips for them.
Projects like this save volunteer time at Gleaners and are part of their at home volunteer program.
Whoops — missed another anniver-sary. This one I actually didn’t know about as Heather dropped off a pam-phlet that announced March 13 was World Kidney Day.
There is probably a World Something Day for everything you can think of but these special days bring the spotlight to bear, if even just for a short while, on various subjects we should be aware of. The common thing with many of these various days is that they are all intend-ed to get you to live healthier and lon-ger — admirable goals.
World Kidney Day was simple — just raise awareness of kidney disease and follow some simple rules: start your day with a glass of water, reduce your salt intake, check your blood pres-sure regularly and do 30-60 minutes of activity a day — simple, achievable items that apply to so many other areas of keeping yourself healthy. Toss in regular checkups and getting plenty of
sleep, and you have the foundation of a great personal health program.
Speaking of personal health, we broke another record here (as we are all about statistics and trying to break
records here) with February being our best month since we opened in 2010 for personal training hours. Personal train-ing is a service we offer patrons where you can have a qualified trainer meet with you as an individual or with a partner or even in groups of three to six in order to have a custom designed fitness program created to spe-cifically suit you and what goals
you would like to achieve.It is interesting as there is a definite
movement (hey, a pun) toward more personalized service in all walks of life, exercise being a key one. While lots of people still like group exercise and the energy created with many like-minded sweaty souls in the same room, there is a trend towards more “me” stuff, like training programs and service tailored specifically to “my” needs in all aspects of customer service.
Another form of exercise, which in this case is free, would be our Free Skate and Curl Day on March 23 at 3:30 p.m., which, if you hadn’t heard, is free. We have been doing this for a number of years and it is a great opportunity to try and throw some curling rocks or just go for a spin around
the hockey rink. Who knows, you might find you have a knack for one or the other and will pursue it further!
Another cool thing happening is the fundraiser on April 12 at 7 p.m. up in the Creston Room, ABBA Again, an ABBA tribute band. Hey, I know you either openly like ABBA or secretly still do — I have, in fact, found myself invol-untarily humming along to them as I have been hopelessly lost in the bowels of Ikea and have even heard manly-men loggers singing Does Your Mother Know and Super Trouper back in the bush when no one is around. This fundraiser is part of the Creston Concert Society’s effort to raise money to help the Creston Community Auditorium Society change out the seats in the Prince Charles Theatre, which are actually refurbished seats from the old Tivoli Theatre and given new life back in March 1987. Boy, if those seats could talk… butt I digress. That seating has performed above and beyond but has reached the point where you would start fidgeting halfway through Mamma Mia with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, which is all the more reason to check out this group and bring relief to the community. Tickets are available at Black Bear Books or for more info call 250-428-2711 or email [email protected].

March: In like a lion, out like a lamb? Well, things have been hopping at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors all month with weekly programs in full swing and it’s not likely to slow down soon.
Welcome and thanks go out to Joanna Wilson, who is volunteering her piano and personality to the TAPS band and choir practices every Thursday. You are a wonderful addition, Joanna.
On looking back through the files I discovered that March 22, 2005, heralded a new era for the TAPS program. On that date, it officially came

The resulting products are sold and more money generated to further their mission of helping the commu-nity. In addition the benefits of the intergenerational exchange and the sense of contributing to a good cause are values beyond mere measure-ment for all involved. Have a look at the Gleaners website for opportuni-ties to help them continue their good work of 29 years for our community. Thank you!
Did you say pie? Nope, I said pies — the Krafty Kronys were at it again making their famous fruit pies this month. Under the efficient guidance of Mabel, 68 apple and 10 cherry pies were whipped up, pack-aged and frozen amidst much mer-riment. Notwithstanding the hours already put in with youth from Cresteramics and our seniors peel-
ing and cutting apples one day and the finishing of the pies the next, I did hear Mabel saying, “Well, we really should do some more soon.” Now that’s a passionate person! Thanks to Margo Beaudry for her donation of apples and to Harvest Share and other donors whose fruit last summer was prepped and fro-zen. Have you got yours? Watch for notices about the Krafty Kronys craft sales and, of course, you can always get a pie at TAPS.
In April, TAPS will be having volunteer appreciation days at the centre with good food and fun activities, as usual. For more infor-mation, call TAPS at 250-428-5585.

Spring Tour 2014 “INTERSECTIONS” is the theme of this year’s spring tour. Intersections are where roads meet, choices are made, collisions happen and directions change. We depend on God to guide us through life’s intersections:
God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course. Give me insight so I can do what you tell me— my whole life one long, obedient response. Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway! Give me a bent for your words of wisdom, and not for piling up loot. Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets, invigorate me on the pilgrim way. (Psalm 119:33-37 The Message)
CLBI students will utilize music, drama, movement and visual art to explore intersections in our lives.

to agree with Christy Clark. You don’t have to agree with Christy Clark, and we won’t go to jail for that disagreement.
So when local students recently came to see the legislature and told me how they enjoyed the debates, I was reminded that for good or for worse, our democracy is the envy of many people in this world. Right now, it is the envy of many Ukrainians.
Yet, it is also a work in progress and comes under attack here too. In B.C., the Liberals are attempt-ing to influence the electoral boundary distribution for their political gain. Nationally, the
Harper Conservatives are system-atically disenfranchising many people with the Fair Elections Act. Thankfully, we all still have the right to debate and disagree with these pieces of legislation. Thankfully we have the right to vote and choose a new govern-ment if we don’t like the current governments’ records.
However, democracy isn’t a spectator sport. They get that in Ukraine. With 50 per cent voter turnout, do we?
Michelle Mungall is the member of the legislative assembly for the Nelson-Creston provincial riding, and is the Opposition critic for social development.
Many of the headlines this past month have read, “Crisis in the Ukraine”. I have been following these stories closely. Sixteen months ago, I was in Ukraine, part of Canada’s mis-sion to observe the national election. Along with 500 other Canadians, we formed Canada’s largest observation mission in history.
Our role there was to help citizens grow and strengthen their 20-year-old democracy by being experienced outside eyes to their electoral relationship with those in power. It was sad to finally report that the elec-tions were not free and fair. Intimidation tactics of public
and press were widespread, concerns of corruption and electoral fraud were real, and the imprisonment of the oppo-sition leader, Yulia Tymoshencko, was politically motivated.
Today, many people of Ukrainian and Russian ances-try — like my husband’s grand-father — have made Canada
their home. They are watching the news, worried for the welfare of their families and friends. As clashes increase and become more intense, as Crimea votes to secede and
as western powers express their opposition to Russia’s military moves, we all wonder what is to come.
So what started all this? You could go into a long his-tory of imperialism in eastern Europe and how this part of the region has been fought
over for centuries. You could look at the unravelling of the Soviet Union and how Crimea was a gift to Ukraine under soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. And while that is all relevant, at the heart of the current situation is the peo-ple’s drive for a democratic society.
In my observations, I saw a people with a deep desire for democracy. Parents took their children to the polls to show them democracy in action, non-governmental organizations took part in the democratic dis-course and election workers at the local level were diligent in their tasks. There was no doubt in my mind that people wanted democracy.
That is what brought people to the streets this winter — the ongoing movement for a demo-cratic government and a demo-cratic society. They were in those streets and the Maidan day after day to have what I do every day, which is freely debate and disagree with oth-ers in government. I don’t have

Democracy under attack in Ukraine and Canada

The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.
Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.
The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Cana-da, one could presume that profi ts will come before
environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.
And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,
or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.
How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.
Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”
It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?
